Question

What to Do When a Baby Has a Fever and Won’t Drink Water?

Answer

If a baby has a fever and won’t drink water, it may be due to indigestive diarrhea or enteritis. It is recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and further examine the stool routine to determine the cause. If it is enteritis, consider using antibiotics for treatment; if the stool routine is normal, probiotics and antidiarrheal medication can be used. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
